Hey all,

Gentle ping on this patch. Looking to get this patch and [1] slated
for 6.7 wherein we can start getting cleaner kselftests builds.

I do not think I am able to successfully run the hid/bpf selftests due
to my kernel version being too low (and an inability to upgrade it as
I'm on a corp rolling release). I'd appreciate some insight on how to
get the tests running or if someone could actually build+run the tests
with this patch applied.
